DESCRIPTION:"We may not think about them often," says the American Chemistry Council,
"but versatile plastics inspire countless innovations that help make life
better, healthier and safer every day." In this view, plastics provide
cheap, hygienic, lightweight, and convenient materials for a growing
economy. But plastics are turning out to be anything but convenient.\n\nIn
2010, American manufacturers produced over 51 million tons of plastic.
That same year, American households threw away (not recycling) over half
that amount. What are the costs and effects of this kind of waste in our
daily lives? What can you personally do to protect the environment and
your health?\n\nJoin us for a comprehensive review of research on plastic
in the oceans, plastic toxicity, the costs of disposability, and ways that
we each can shift to more life-sustaining materials. Local leaders in
health, conservation, and resource recovery will describe issues and
solutions to the plague of plastic pollution.\n\nFor students, teachers,
business managers and owners, civic leaders, citizen activists, and anyone
interested in sustainable living.\n\nThursday, March 7, 7-9 pm.
Introduction & film night. $10 donation. Reserve your seat
here.\n\nFilm shorts: The Story of Bottled Water (Annie Leonard); Midway
Island cleanup (Chris Jordan); We Can Recycle Plastic (Mike Biddle); and
more\nWith: Chris Pincetich, PhD, Sea Turtle Restoration Project; Beck
Cowles, Berkeley Ecology Center; Monica Wilson, GAIA; and Beth Terry,
